Reading Ally Carter's Gallagher Girl series. I wanted something a little more reality based.

All of the mapping. Even though I really like working from a complete outline, mapping one out is not always my favorite.

The father daughter relationship between Steve and Carter

They completely love it. I don't even know how many times I've seen readers coming back not only for a second but a third, fourth, fifth time to read it again.

Currently it's a stand alone but that might change in the future

There's a couple things I would say.

1. Know where your going with it.

2. Don't edit while you're writing.

3. As much as you can don't over read it.

4. Write because it makes you happy, not because you want a lot of followers.

Haha not really. I do have a bit of that confidence-in-the-midst-of-someone else's-arrogance at times. But Carter is definitely her own person.

It's not the typical teen fiction story because it has a mix of action in it

Haha always and forever! Right now my focus is on a couple sequels to books but I can't say which. ;)
